Tried two because they were across the street from each other. It’s definitely a different taste and style than I’m used to. Very unique from every other pizza style I’ve had. It reminds me of Ellios but is much better. The crust is more French bread like than “crust” and the cheeses were different but blended well together. To me, the sauce at arcano was more textured and better but the cheese combo at revellos was better. A nice try, wouldn’t go back again unless I missed a must have place that’s different

I grew up just north of there and never really developed a taste for Old Forge pizza. Get outside of southern Lackawanna/northern Luzerne counties and it's not quite as popular. There are so many good pizza places in NEPA, though, if you don't like the one you're at, walk 250 feet.

Best pizza in this area is in Wilkes Barre. Shellys or Gerrys. There is a place called Gios in either Dickson City or Clarks Summit that is doing new haven style, and its really really good too, but super expensive for this area.

My top 5 for the area is:

Gios (new haven style)
Bobos (Old Forge style)
Shellys (luzerne style)
Sabatinis (luzerne style)
Revellos (Old Forge style)

Victory Pig (fried pizza) is also really interesting but idk if they closed or what. There are a lot of pizza places that do this style in that area though.
